hi new to site i am from lancashire uk . i have recently aquired a 1980s gitane lightweight cycle and am attempting to identify the model if possible
the bike is all original equipment shimano 600 series crankset gears changers brakes and hubs six speed non indexed block.
not sure of make of bars but they are nicely engraved . the frame is built from super vitus 971 double butted steel with fairly plain lugs. forks are same decals for tubing are intact and gitane decals are pretty good too
"cycles gitane" but no model stated the frame has braze ons for mudguards but no gear lever bosses these are band on very nice early shimano engraved type ft mech is also band on. rims are mavic 700cs
i will post pics when i have some just in process of a major clean up job on bike i would like to keep its original condition although the frame could ideally benfit from a respray. not much known about gitane in uk although i believe they still supply "budget" racing cycles
your site is very interesting thanks in anticipation yours in cycling "bowser" ps forgot to mention frame no stamped on b/b 58095a
thanks
